They'll generally report the same thing, but emphasise different points. If anything, this has led me to really appreciate the amount of manipulation going on in media. It might do the same for you! Try the Guardian, the BBC, and the Sydney Morning Herald.

Actually, I was one of the people calling for a broad survey.
The BBC also has bias, by the way - they're said to be rather anti-Israel (anti-Jewish if you believe some people)... On the whole, however, I prefer their reporting to the "newsflash" stuff CNN always does. Somehow they just *look* more reliable.
